My uncle runs a farm/vineyard in the yarra valley where we often go for a weekend away...

this week theyre filming a portion of Charlottes Web there... for 30 seconds of film it takes 1 week to shoot :D something like 120 people... 4 semi trailors and a lot of vans.

theyre bringing magpies and sheep (their farm is a cattle farm as well as a vineyard) to use in the shots which will only be for 30 seconds of film time :D

they have to cut some branches down (well get my uncle to) to get the trailors in and they said that for every branch he has to cut for them to get through theywill give him a slab ;)

There will also be a 24 hour food caravan open to everyone to eat so if he gets hungry they said to come up and have a feed.

None of the stars will be there or anything cause its mainly a scenery shoot as well as a "chase scene" and the lead up to the farm down the driveway which will look pretty much.... like this

lol yeah not just finger food either... full catering staff

Yuck Fou. Oh ni you know you got a mention in Speed mag "Not to be outdone, D1NZ driver Jarius Whareau drove the RB26-powered Cefiro of Nikora Terrill with some aplomb." Mr lar de dar. To bad you havent got it any more would make a good shot in a scene like that. The only thing you'll be shooting though is the sau guys trying to get onto the set for some of that free food and BEER!. :usuck: :headshot:

lol yeah wont post up the location for obvious reasons... yeah i have that speed mag :P i was going to take the car there for a shoot but its too far away to drive with no rego.

when i get another car i'll organise a cruise up there... but hen the actuall hotel and stuff are built and they have wine tasting on... its awesome up there... love going out there and staying over (even when i get put thru a barbed wire fence on a motorbike.)

    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
    • That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
